Hello everyone and welcome to issue 9!
I want to first start off by giving everyone a warm welcome back from spring break! I hope everyone got the rest they needed and is ready to jump back into the semester where we left off. We’re in the final stretch now – finals week, and subsequently, summer break, is just weeks away. Stay strong!
On a similar note, with the end of the semester comes The Quadrangle’s themed special issue. These special issues are the only print issues we can produce each semester, and a lot of work (and money) goes into this creation. If you are interested in supporting this issue, please check out our gofundme page or reach out to thequad@manhattan.edu to figure out how to get involved. We couldn’t do this without our readers!
Now moving into our issue 8, we cover campus happenings from before the spring break started. First, in news, you can read about the Battle of the Brains competition which ended off Engineers Week. In this annual competition, different groups of engineers compete to build a device in front of a live audience. Congratulations to the winners of the Brother Leo Cup, the Mechanical Engineering Department, for a great performance this year. Next, read about MU’s Mock Trial team and their trip to regionals to represent the university. As a student-run organization, seeing their success is super inspirational – be sure to check these articles out!
Up next in features, we cover an event hosted by the NYWEA chapter on campus, where different students were able to present their findings on various scientific processes. MU’s women’s club soccer team also held a fundraising event to support their upcoming season.
In A&E, we dive deep into MU’s album class, and the changes that students are making to the marketing of the class and performance itself, followed by a club trip to the Gay Harlem Renaissance Exhibition, in collaboration with the Pride Center, BSU and more. I suggest you look at the album class’ instagram for yourself to see these exciting changes!
Lastly, in our sports section you can find a recap of our basketball teams’ seasons, as they have both officially come to a close. Also check out our games of the week to find quick coverage on our teams recent results.
That’s all for this week – I hope you enjoy this issue!
See you this time next week,
